Excursion Taormina bay boat tour tour at Giardini-Naxos

Experience the spectacular beauty of Sicily's eastern coastline during this relaxing cruise along the Bay of Taormina.

Bay of Naxos, Capo Taormina and Isola Bella

Following your tender ride ashore, board your motorboat and begin a leisurely cruise along the stunning Bay of Naxos. Sit back and admire the dramatic coastline as you sail past Capo Taormina, picturesque coves and secluded inlets en route to the renowned Isola Bella Nature Reserve. Often referred to as the "Pearl of the Ionian Sea", this enchanting island is connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of beach and is surrounded by remarkably clear, turquoise waters.

Mazzarò Bay, Mermaid's Cave and Swimming

Continue cruising past the beautiful Mazzarò Bay, the legendary Mermaid's Cave, the beaches of Spisone and the seaside village of Letojanni. Along the way, several stops are made in sheltered bays, weather permitting, providing an opportunity to swim in the refreshing waters of the Ionian Sea or simply relax aboard whilst taking in the magnificent coastal scenery.

Sicilian Aperitif

During your cruise, a traditional Sicilian aperitif is served on board, featuring a selection of local Sicilian specialities.

At the conclusion of your cruise, return to the harbour and re-board your ship's tender for the transfer back to the vessel.
